Peak Season:
Cape Verde benefits from stunning beaches and lovely warm weather for the best part of all-year. A lot of activities take place on the beaches that surround the island with the Praia de Santa Maria beach topping the list as the beach to be on. Due to that it can also be incredibly crowded during the peak summer months of June to September. You’ll find cheap flights to Cape Verde easier to come by if you visit either in the spring months of April and May or the autumn months of October and November. The weather is usually very pleasant but crowds are fewer thanks to families opting not to visit during school terms. There is the Nossa Sra. De Piedade in Sal on the 15th of August which has a music festival on the beach, swimming contests and processions. The Sao Vicente carnival at the end of February is normally packed with locals and tourists and can go on until the morning with drinking and partying through the night. Flights to Cape Verde get incredibly expensive surrounding the weeks leading up to the carnival though so make sure your flight tickets are secured well in advance.
Off Season
There isn’t much of an off season although you’ll find the cheapest flights to Cape Verde during December, January and February (excluding the week or two before the carnival) when the weather is cooler and less predictable. This can affect a lot of the activities that normally take place during the rest of the year as a lot of watersports and sea related activities occur.
January is the cheapest month to find discounted flight tickets although you’ll find cheap flights to Cape Verde during both spring and autumn as airlines reduce the cost of their flights due to many people waiting for school holidays. If you aim to have your flights to Cape Verde booked three or four months in advance then you’ll give yourself a better chance of securing deals on your flight tickets. Being flexible with your dates ultimately allows you to find the cheapest flights to Cape Verde and generally you’ll still manage to visit during the warmer months of the year.

Very crowded flight. Staff brought refreshments regularly and the food was surprisingly good. But checking was very slow and they allowed way too many people with large suitcases on board making onboarding and off-boarding very slow and chaotic.
